Yankees' Aaron Judge: Doesn't rule out elbow surgery
Rotowire
Judge on Wednesday didn't dismiss the possibility of undergoing surgery to repair the flexor strain in his right elbow, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.
Following the Yankees' elimination from the postseason, Judge said of his elbow that "we'll definitely do some work on it and get it right." When asked whether that could mean surgery, he replied, "I'm not a doctor. I don't know." Judge was diagnosed with a flexor strain in late July, spent 10 days on the injured list and was limited to designated hitter for a month upon his return. He played right field regularly over the final few weeks of the regular season and in the playoffs, but his throwing was noticeably compromised. A decision on how best to treat Judge's elbow injury should be made soon.
Yankees' Aaron Judge: Keeps Yanks alive with homer

Judge went 3-for-4 with a walk, a double, a three-run home run, an additional RBI and two additional runs scored in Tuesday's 9-6 win over the Blue Jays in Game 3 of the American League Division Series.
In a career moment for Judge, he hit an emphatic three-run homer off the left-field foul pole to tie the game in the bottom of the fourth inning, after the Blue Jays went up by a score of 6-1 the inning prior. The Yankees were on the brink and are still facing elimination in Game 4, but Judge may have just swung the momentum in this best-of-five series. He is now batting an even .500 (11-for-22) this postseason.
Judge went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Orioles.
The reigning AL MVP got the Yankees on the board with a solo shot off Tomoyuki Sugano in the first inning, before adding a two-run single in the fifth. Judge has done everything he can in 2025 to repeat as MVP -- his 1.149 OPS is nearly 200 points clear of Cal Raleigh's .954, and he's second in the AL to the Seattle catcher in both homers (60 to 53) and RBI (125 to 114).

Judge went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer and a walk in Friday's 8-4 victory over the Orioles.

Judge has been scorching hot in September, as he seeks to become the 13th player all-time to win three MVP awards, batting .370 (27-for-73) with nine homers, 25 runs scored and 14 RBI in 23 games this month. Overall, the star outfielder now sports an absurd .330/.458/.687 slash line with 135 runs scored and 111 RBI over 671 plate appearances.
